Philadelphia is expected to sign a free agent receiver, but their options are running out. Brandon Marshall was never believed to be an option. He was one of the first wideouts to come off of the board after signing a two-year, $12 million contract with the Giants on Wednesday.

Kenny Stills agreed to terms on a four-year, $32 million deal to stay with the Dolphins. Pierre Garcon is expected to sign with the 49ers.

What options are the best options left for the Eagles?

Kenny Britt

Britt remains on the market and should have a more affordable price tag. Stills’ contract is a good barometer for what type of contract Britt should get.

He is a veteran receiver that is coming off of his best year as a pro. Britt has primarily played with average to below average quarterback play. Joining an Eagles team with Carson Wentz as the quarterback would provide a boost to his career.

Torrey Smith

Smith is a pure “X” receiver that still has the ability to stretch the field. The Eagles should be able to get him on a deal in the neighborhood of three years for $18 million with $12 million guaranteed.

Alshon Jeffery

Jeffery’s contract expectations seem like they’ll level out closer to $12 million per season as opposed to $14 million – $16 million per year that he was said to be expecting. Signing him at the lower cost makes acquiring him a lot more feasible, but it is still a deal that Philadelphia needs to pass on.

DeSean Jackson

A return to the Eagles would be a welcome story for Philadelphia, but it looks more and more like Jackson is headed to the Bucs. The speedy wideout will have Jamies Winston as his quarterback and Mike Evans as his running mate.

BONUS OPTION

Trade for Brandin Cooks

Trading for Cooks remains the best option for the Eagles. Cooks is only 23 years old (younger than Wentz) and has back-to-back seasons with 1,000 yards receiving. He will be paid $2.6 million in 2017, and the Eagles can exercise an $8.5 million fifth-year option in 2018. It’s safe to say he is worth $11.1 million over two years.
